Volume 4 of a 4 v. set ; illus. 20 cm ; LCCN: 49-39651 ; OCLC: 43024070 ; brown cloth with blind stamped tooling ; "still are the pages racy as ever with their quantum of quick 'wit, as also enriched with passages of superior thought. The cuts, too, are as grotesque and laugh-provoking as any in the famously-yclept Comic, while the characters are super-excellent. Richard Orchard to wit-who fancying himself every second to be at death's door, provokes many ludicrous scenas-fiery Mr. Thomas Bowker and the imperturbable Yankee-Martha Penny and her unorthographic epistles- these, with songs, sceneries, stories, and witshafts, make it a right seasonable treat. Like Master I Junior, we shall attack this Christmas pasty, and have a touch at its plums and pleasantries."--The Mirror of Literature, Amusement, and Instruction, 1840 ; VG.
